It astonishes me how parents are perfectly able to understand "the kid brought something home from school and now we're all sick" except for COVID for some reason

that NEA "we cancelled the creative writing fellowships program because we prioritize fostering AI competency" letter is a really good example of a genre of what we might call found horror

On COVID contrarians by @gregggonsalves.bsky.social: "they have helped to make public health & biomedicine into a scapegoat for a nation’s trauma. Instead of focusing on the effects of a virus, we’ve found something more human to blame—the scientists & public health officials who got it all wrong.'"

Whether it's Neil Gaiman, Elon Musk or Gregg Wallace, #ActuallyAutistic men using their diagnosis as a get out of jail free card helps absolutely nobody. Grateful @aislingwalsh.bsky.social wrote this.

The thing that stands out here is so many Dems run campaigns terrified of (and thus buying into) the Fox News framing.

Mamdani is rightly mocking that framing as ridiculous and it resonates. He's not running scared. He's running proud of who he is and what he stands for.

“Autist” is emerging as an a eugenicist dogwhistle. The new aspie supremacy—but whiter, wealthier, and making a virtue out of the putative incapacity for empathy.

Not a disability, of course. Not in solidarity with anyone who needs or deserves solidarity.

Keep an eye on it.

And then this shit just came out.

When you’re making over $700k a year, gaining $12k is nothing. It’s a nice vacation, redoing the garage, giving a niece/nephew a car.

When you’re making $23k a year, losing $1600 is “are we paying for food or for the house or for medical bills” territory.

Everyone Is Using A.I. for Everything. Is That Bad?

i just find this so bizarre. searching through texts and doing the reading for myself is how i actually think through ideas! trying to put together a sentence is how i figure out what i actually want to say!

The weird sang-froid with which @NPR states this is a problem. This is as if RFK Jr. was talking about little green men on Mars. "Ancient miasma theory" isn't another viewpoint my dear NPR editors. It's the sun-revolves-around-the-earth stuff. What are you doing?

New Yorkers scream out each officer’s lawsuits against them for excessive force and more upon their city, right to their faces while protesting.

I've seen folks talk about how "in four years" they'll be able to get back to their planned projects and I really don't think that's going to work out. People & projects losing funding now will not be able to hit pause and come back once funding is restored. Hard-won progress & capacity will be lost

And here they are in a square format that works better on some social media platforms.

I subscribe to the @newyorker.com, I was part of ACT UP, I knew Larry Kramer well and know Tony Fauci too. Daniel Immerwahr's piece on RFKJr, features this and other passages that need a reponse. 1/

Saw an uncredited post on fb that got eaten by a refresh saying that JK shouldn't be categorized as simply a problematic artist. That she's more like Musk: a radicalized person with extreme wealth using said wealth to influence the government to target and harm a marginalized group. Helpful framing.

There are many people who really believe that not everyone should attend school. And, there's a smaller group that feels very strongly that students have a right to learn & should be supported, and assume more people share this belief. 🧵

now you're all going to hear one of my annoyances: when adults say to other adults "look for the helpers." My dude, you ARE the helper. Kids look for the helpers, which should be you, a grown person.

One case of measles confirmed in Nova Scotia | CBC News Case involves an adult who was exposed to measles while travelling to the United States.

"Nova Scotia...confirming one case of measles in the Halifax area...It involves an adult who was exposed to measles while travelling to the US."

There we go. If you're not sure of your vaccination status, it doesn't hurt to get another MMR. And masks & ventilation add infection control!

And yet our strategic blandness reserve is scarcely depleted

They also haven’t been centre right since at least Harper.

Joe Clark was probably to the left or Carney, but PP would have been off the scale twenty years ago.

The fact that RFK had a disabled, lobotomized relative proves nothing except maybe that ableism is a learned hatred.

I'm sure someone has already said this more eloquently, but autistic folks who don't pay taxes are still valuable human beings, and people with criminal records should still not be disappeared to foreign extra judicial prison sites. Inherent human worth is the hill.

Guys, I love all of you, but the answer to RFK, Jr. is not that autistic adults hold jobs, pay taxes, and get laid, it's that everyone deserves to live even if they can't work, pay taxes, or get laid.

Where were people getting all of these ideas about our ‘potential’ if not from our ability to crush a test out of absolutely nowhere?

“Does better than on high-stakes, time-limited tasks” is basically part of the diagnostic criteria.

screenshot from nova scotia health authority instagram account MMR & MMRV Vaccine Eligibility Infants (6 to 11 months): ◦ If planning to travel, 1 dose of MMR vaccine may be given. • The child will still need two routine doses after their first birthday. Children and Youth (1 to 17 years): • 2 doses of MMRV are normally given at 12 and 18 months • Older children and youth are eligible for 2 catch-up doses if childhood vaccines were missed. Adults (18 to 55 years, born in 1970 or later): • Adults born between 1970 and 1995 were offered only 1 dose as children and another dose is recommended. • Adults born in 1996 or later were offered 2 doses as children. If 2 doses were received, they are fully vaccinated. • Adults are eligible for up to 2 catch-up doses if childhood vaccines were missed. Older Adults (55+ years, born in 1969 or earlier): • Older adults are generally considered immune, but can get a single dose if travelling. This vaccine is FREE for people who are eligible.

Nova Scotia Health has been sharing info about MMR vaccine eligibility on their IG account. Just sharing it here because I recently had a conversation with a pharmacist who thought people born after 1970 had 2 doses, but that wasn’t the case until 1996.

I never know how accurate polls are, but there's no longer an NDP candidate in the South Shore riding. If you can support Jessica Fancy-Landry, please do.

So weird to see colleges promoting their USNWR grad school rankings today like grad students aren’t being disappeared by their government.
